NPP Projection Report Sunday 1/19 CLOSE Chris



Presentation Issues:
-RM mentioned that she thought the BOMBSHELL preshow was maybe too loud,  She worked the film back-to-back tonight after having not worked it very much previously and said she had to lean in close the hear guests' orders during PS. It did seem maybe a tad loud to me, tho I am not super familiar with the mix of our preshows yet.

Print/video Inspection:
-Finished teching LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, no technical issues, image is kinda... murky but its a purposely dreary looking film as I recall and I'd imagine a lot of the actual murk is the result of a 1080p blu ray being converted to DCP and put on a big screen where I'm used to seeing 2k/4k/film. Not much to be done there.

-There is a potential issue with the film however. Back when LTROI came out on blu-ray there was a sizable "scandal" regarding the blu-ray's english subtitles amongst film weirdos. In short, they had been significantly altered from the film's theatrical release, dumbed down to the point of nonsense and in certain cases significantly altered the content of given scenes. It may sound banal to some but the alterations were bad enough and the uproar loud enough that the distributor was actually pushed to re-do the home video release to include the theatrical subs. As one of the aforementioned weirdos who took issue back in the day I soon realized that our DCP carries these bad subs, and I'm concerned that customers who were willing to throw down $95 for a ticket to this may fall into the same camp, especially the Shudder curator who is using this event to propose to his girlfriend. It may be worth looking at the blu ray we sourced this from to see if the alternate subs, labeled (Theatrical) English, are available on the disc to swap in, as I'm sure no one wants to re-do the DCP process a day before the event. Good chance no one will notice/care but if ever there was a crowd likely to, they'll be here on Tuesday. I'll email Deanna this portion of the report.

To do this evening/ was completed: Hey all! Well, we're just about there! Barbenheimer starts tomorrow. Alec and I ran the print this morning as a dress rehearsal to check image/sound and to give our lovely staff a first look. The print looks really beautiful and I'm very excited for this run. We'll get our eyes on the DCP tomorrow to compare sound, though we're almost certain the loud, static noises that occur during scenes of explosions or closeups of nuclear particles are intentional.  I want to share with everyone a document I've whipped up called Housekeeping Notes for the Projectionist: Plattering Oppenheimer. This document details everything from notes on threading procedures--to cleaning--to examples of common situations and how to respond/communicate with colleagues and, of course, staying on top of other duties. Whilst Alec and I will be there for the first couple of screenings and to assist with each projectionists' first time running the platter--pl

To do this evening/ was completed:v Mandy ingested to T1. Reached out to Vision for new posters.

Gave them our account number, location and my cell. Outgoing marquee letters taken down. 11/10 playlists and forecasts deleted, Chicken Run V2 and Christmas Action trailers downloaded and ingested, 11/24 A1 playlists and packs built.
